THE WORLD'S GREATEST CLOCKS AND WATCHES BY CEDRIC JAGGER-From those first horological dinosaurs (earliest clocks and watches), accurate to within a few hours a day to the latest mechanical movements, whose accuracy can be counted in fractions of a second, was a long uphill road, with considerableperiods of little or no progress punctuated by a few sudden advances contributed by a handful of geniuses from several countries, including France, Germany, Italy, America and Japan as well as Great Britain.
